Well now that we are moving into the 20 numbers in November, I am starting to think I best be getting serious about Christmas. Things still seem to be moving slow when it comes to shipping and transporting. Saturday was such a beautiful day that I was thinking Sunday might […]
Kim Jo Bliss – Moo’s From The Herd
Well, it looks like winter has arrived. I was still hoping we might be on the edge of the system and I do mean the edge that wasn’t going to get much at all. Friends in Dryden certainly were hit worse, and my step-kid was called to Kenora to work […]
We sold 814 head at our final cattle sale of 2021. What a year it has been! The cattle valued at $894,163.15. We’ve seen some excellent calves go through the ring. The western buyers said we continued to have a high cow market compared to the west. We are pleased […]
By Kim Jo Bliss Would it even have been Halloween without a few snow flurries? At my place he flurries didn’t arrive until after the Trick or Treaters were home enjoying their bag of fun! I had the most kids I have seen in many years; it was great! Sure, […]
I am sure I have likely mentioned before that after I get my annual pay cheque for my calves I like to always try and do an upgrade on the house of some kind. I wasn’t sure what that would be this year but that changed rather quickly. I was […]
This month is flying by. Like wasn’t last week August? We survived another cattle sale! It was a big one, 1853 head. I felt it went fast; we had few downtimes. I am hoping this reflects the good cattle flow we have with our new facilities. We sold 1853 head […]
When I left work on Friday, I was thankful to have 3 days off! I had some big plans but unfortunately the weather really dampened a lot of my plans. I have had to remind myself multiple times that I said on more than one occasion this summer that I […]
This is Ontario Agriculture Week! Though I think we should celebrate our industry all year long, things are ramped up this week! It is a special time to think about the acres that are cared for by our producers, the abundance of food produced, the employees in our industry, and […]
We successfully held our first cattle sale in our new facilities. For the most part, things went very well. Naturally we found a few things we can improve on and we have three weeks to change a few more things. We sold 1487 animals for $1,798.094.20. It was a pretty […]
Last week was a whirlwind! We were working hard to complete multiple tasks before the Minister’s visit on Thursday. I finally gave up on the fact that getting things all trimmed, mowed and beautiful wasn’t going to happen. In fact, it is the end of the year and the place […]
Last week was a complete blur. I had high hopes of getting all caught back up at the Research Station, but I had many interruptions and things added to an already long list. I was able to work late on Friday and came in with my mom on Sunday. A […]
The September long weekend is already long gone! Many helpful volunteers spent their long weekend at the Sales Barn working hard to try and get the project ready for our sale week. I will be honest, it is going to be tight. Things have really started to come together but […]
